explain what the second part has to do with the first part of your entire commentary.

don't misapprehend that i did not get what you said, and yes I agree with the sentiments and philosophical fundamentals.. we are a very young species, and have removed ourselves in our industry and art and abstraction of reality from just how brutal nature really is... when we are facing it we hope, we use the 10's of thousands of years of 'kind man' - they who delight in the images on rocks - to rationalise the animal we still are.

if you mean by 'heroes/sheroes' every day human beings, that which we are, and that which we do built on all that's gone before us, then yes, i can agree with you.

but this is not invention of knowledge.. but i guess it can be written about in an inventive way.

> you write so uptight.

you're not qualified to comment.

Your poetry can never stand up to the test of time.  There is a very clear inability on your part, Mr. Gecko,  to not connect thoughts and dots (This is evident in every poem I have seen under the pseudonym of joey and of geckodrome.) Your writing style is boring, your diction, or shall I say "voice" is cocky and I shall stand by my  first claim,  "uneducated."  I see no intelligence whatsoever presented in any of your musings as you so passionately declare.  If I were your professor, I would offer you a passing grade only to be rid of you, honestly.  You strike me as more of a nuisance than anything else.  I owe you nothing, sir.  I only can claim to put into words what I receive on an intellectual level from the stimuli of your run-on, defensive and highly underachieving schedule.

they don't need to. three of my poems are already good enough to be memorized. they'll make their own way, and make their way in their own way. you're a child, and want to ride grandpa's shoulders to the city for ice cream. but, grandpa is tired and he actually thinks you're a pompous little brat and is going to throw you out the window. perhaps, as ok suggests, grandpa is senile?

which is why for once in your 'career' here you made profound and thoughtful sense in writing.

i'd follow Maya's way if i was you, if you want to get your points across as succinctly, intelligently as she has done in the parts you to inform the general populace here.

see Mikey boy.. it is possible to be and sound intelligent and make linear sense with creative thought and writing.

don't be afraid, stop hiding behind the wall of crap you normally talk, and be maya.

you're really proving that you have the experiential values and sensitivity of a mildly advanced 14 year old. you and reid are a good team.

I sincerely doubt that three of your poems are "already good enough to be memorized."  And by whom?  If these musings which you speak of are indeed so life altering, where have they been published and in what university English classes are they presented for literary endoresement/achievement?  I rest my case.  I learned a very long time ago that if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it must be a duck.  To further indulge you in this nowhere sport for the sake of your own thrill of competition would be futile on my part.  Judging from your fellow workshop mates here, I would say that you are not a very good player and you only want others to like you.  But first, you must be likeable yourself and tragically, are not.  You reek of adversary in that you help no one here, not even yourself.  You only attack and when the very attack is reversed, you cannot handle it.  Who's the real poodle doodle, I ask?  You are neither poodle nor doodle.  You are only a noodle.  I insist that you wake up and leave your ego elsewhere, as it is strikingly toxic and worst of all, unpleasant.
